纽约州：1350万美元投向首府地区，圣罗斯学院旧校区改建跨代社区中心
纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔（Kathy Hochul）10月29日宣布，州政府将通过州宿舍管理局（DASNY）向首府地区两个大型社区发展项目投入总计1350万美元，两个项目都位于纽约州奥尔巴尼县。
其中700万美元拨给奥尔巴尼县，用于收购并翻修原圣罗斯学院（College of Saint Rose）校园内的尼尔·赫尔曼图书馆和活动与体育中心。这座占地27英亩、共有71栋建筑的校园位于奥尔巴尼市，县政府计划把两栋建筑改造成跨代社区中心，提供健康养生、手工艺、技术和理财课程等服务。
圣罗斯学院旧校区由奥尔巴尼县松山土地管理局（ACPHLA）负责再开发，该机构依据霍楚尔2024年6月签署的法案设立，已于去年春季完成校区的收购。目前百年纪念堂和马斯里中心已重新启用，校园内另有3英亩多土地规划建设老年住房。
另一笔650万美元拨给残疾人服务中心（Center for Disability Services），用于收购位于贝斯利赫姆镇（Town of Bethlehem）斯林格兰兹（Slingerlands）的一家原 ShopRite 超市，并将其改建为该中心旗下兰根学校（Langan School）的新教育设施。这家超市自2023年以来一直空置；新校舍建成后，可让50多名在等候名单上的学生入学。该中心已在首府地区服务了80多年。
霍楚尔、奥尔巴尼县县长丹尼尔·麦科伊（Daniel P. McCoy）、州宿舍管理局局长罗伯特·罗德里格斯（Robert J. Rodriguez）、发育障碍者服务办公室主任威洛·贝尔（Willow Baer）、残疾人服务中心总裁格雷戈里·索伦蒂诺（Gregory Sorrentino）、奥尔巴尼市长多西·阿普利尔斯（Dorcey Applyrs）和贝斯利赫姆镇镇长戴维·范卢文（David VanLuven）对两个项目表示支持。
New York: Governor Hochul Invests More Than $13 Million to Support Major Community Development Projects in the Capital Region
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced on October 29 that the state is investing a total of $13.5 million, administered through DASNY, in two major community development projects in the Capital Region, both in Albany County, New York.
A $7 million grant goes to Albany County to purchase and renovate the Neil Hellman Library and the Events and Athletics Center on the former College of Saint Rose campus in Albany, a 27-acre, 71-building campus, converting them into an intergenerational community center offering health and wellness, arts and crafts, technology and financial workshops.
The former campus is being redeveloped by the Albany County Pine Hills Land Authority (ACPHLA), created under legislation Hochul signed in June 2024, which finalized its acquisition of the campus last spring. Centennial Hall and the Massry Center are already being reactivated, and senior housing is planned on more than three acres of the site.
A second grant of $6.5 million goes to the Center for Disability Services to acquire the former ShopRite supermarket in Slingerlands, in the Town of Bethlehem, vacant since 2023, and convert it into a new educational facility for its Langan School. The new facility will allow more than 50 students to come off the school's waitlist; the Center has served the region for more than 80 years.
Hochul, Albany County Executive Daniel P. McCoy, DASNY President and CEO Robert J. Rodriguez, OPWDD Commissioner Willow Baer, Center President and CEO Gregory Sorrentino, Albany Mayor Dr. Dorcey Applyrs and Bethlehem Supervisor David VanLuven backed the two projects.
